Brymor said:Hello JR,
Don't get your hopes up, I'm just supporting your query. I have experienced
the same thing and am wondering if it's because of one of Microsoft's
wonderful automatin updates?????
I'm surprised you have'nt had any response at all yet since your posting of
17th January! So, let's hope somebody our there, [Microsoft?] can solve this
very annoying problem for us.
Kind regards,
Brymor.

group of cells for entry, you can't tell which is the active cell.
What happened..or more importantly, how do I fix it?
JR1 said:Well, I have discovered something...but it's not an Excel thing. The Display
settings matter. I have only one color choice for the overall system in order
for the highlighted cell to appear, and it's ugly. I did upgrade computers at
year end, so that may be what's behind it. Might not be an Excel problem at
all.
Thanks, Brymor...

Brymor said:OK, Fair Comment....
But, I still feel that there must be at least a reason, if not a cure for
this problemt.
If we're lucky, perhaps a Microsoft expert will see these posts and respond.
so, let's keep our fingers crossed.
Just as a matter of interest, what country are you in? I'm in Wales, UK

Brymor said:Hello JR,
At last! I've found the answer, [from MrExcel. www.mrexcel.com]. this forum
is very good indeed.
The solution is: Right click on Desktop/Properties/Appearance/Advanced, Then
scroll down "Item" to find "Selected Items" and change the colour. It would
appear that the original colour went too pale to show up after I changed the
"Colour Scheme" to Silver. If you visit MrExcel you'll find the topic
under,"Selected cell highlighting, GONE!"
Good Luck,
